This collection of classic tales of the supernatural and the uncanny will satisfy anyone's desire for chills. These are stories that surprise - even the second or third time around. They reflect reader's innermost fears and go to places where reality is blurred by imagination, where insanity and madness are shrouded in mystery, and where humanity is haunted by repressed passion and obsession. Even the most jaded will be delighted - and terrified - by this shivering collection, which includes Edgar Allan Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart, Charlotte Perkins Gilman's The Yellow Wallpaper, Robert Louis Stevenson's The Bottle Imp, Bram Stoker's Dracula's Guest, M R James Oh, Whistle and I'll Come to you, My Lad, H G Wells' The Country of the Blind, and Shirley Jackson's The Lottery.
